Google Ads and Shopify are my specialty. Anyone know of any clients out there that need help in these areas?

Curious how other video editors and creatives here actually land consistent clients.
Was it LinkedIn outreach? Finding agencies that hire freelancers and getting on their roster? Showing up where clients already hang out?
I've been doing direct outreach via LinkedIn Sales Navigator, applying to agency rosters, and submitting proposals here on Contra. Getting traction but interested in what's actually worked for others - especially for repeat or ongoing relationships rather than one-off projects.
For context: I focus on branded content and corporate video, working with clients in the UK, Ireland, and Europe remotely from the Netherlands.
What moved the needle for you?
Started with zero activity.
Then the campaign kicked in.
455 people reached.
43 clicks generated.
$1.04 per click.
$44.56 spent.
This is how momentum looks in a properly structured campaign.
It does not explode randomly.
It builds, stabilizes, and then scales.
Most businesses quit before this phase.
That is why they never see real results.
I stay through the build phase and scale what works.
If you want ads that actually grow over time, let’s connect.
